Garage Sale

This is normally where I park my Ford Expedition:

As you can see there is no room for my car, and the stuff is starting to pile chest deep! My garage is almost literally overflowing with items donated for the GUM Garage Sale this Saturday. We'll be sorting and pricing several days this week, and I know there are still more furniture donations on their way!

How can you help? We're still taking donations! Especially big ticket items like furniture and baby gear. Contact me if you'd like to drop some things off.

But more importantly, plan to come check out all this stuff! We've got a very wide assortment of Clothing (Men's, Women's & Children's), Collectibles, Kitchen wares, Electronics, Books, Baby Gear, Furniture and more. Maybe there's something here for you! All the proceeds will go to the Growing Up Mom ministry to ensure we stay self-funded. So spread the word! Tell your family and friends to come by and check out the sale on Saturday, April 30th, between 7am - 1pm.

Easter Books & Treats

I came across this deal tonight, for those of you with Kindles or ebook readers of some sort; Amazon has The Very First Easter from The Beginners Bible free for download right now.

I look forward to being able to pull this ebook up on my phone the next time we're waiting in line somewhere, or playing at the park and just need a few minutes breather.

What Easter books do you and your kids love to read?



Someone asked me this morning (btw- what a fabulous parenting panel we had this morning!!) how to make those cute, tasty little edible nests. So of course, google and me spent a few minutes together and I came up with these! Check out these Easter Treat - Edible Bird Nests. They are super easy to make and you can get really creative with the what you fill the next with!


If you are a little more adventurous you could try making these Chocolate Easter Surprise Eggs from Not Martha. I'm seriously considering trying to attempt these this year!

Look at the chocolate goodness, just under the shell, and when you break it more candies fall out!

What special things are you preparing this season?
